Chapter 2

Hermione struck Sirius around the face with a single hard blow. He keeled over and lay motionless on the floor of the garage. Hermione gasped at what she had just done. She got up and with all the strength she could muster slammed her entire body weight against the garage door. This time she was lucky, the door burst open and she ran as quickly as she could back to the house.

She ran through the kitchen door and slammed it behind her locking it hurriedly and slumping down in one of the kitchen chairs. She was shaking all over and tears ran down her cheeks. How could Sirius do that to her?

A noise from the corner of the room made her jump. A muffled wailing was coming from the cupboard in the corner of the room. Startled and slightly apprehensive she got up from the chair and moved across the room. She opened the door slowly and gasped at the sight that met her eyes.

It was Sirius. He looked like he had been severely beaten up. He had a gag in his mouth and blood oozed from his hairline. Hermione stood confused and stunned. What the hell was going on?

 "hrmmmm, mmm" Sirius looked imploringly into Hermione's face. She took the gag off him and he gulped in air as if he had never tasted it.

 "Sirius what happened?" she asked, her curiosity growing inside her.

"Attacked me…gagged me, locked me in here, couldn't get out"

"Slow down and tell me what happened"

"Pettigrew, turned up at the house" Hermione led Sirius to the table and he sat down his head in his hands "He was raving something about Harry, couldn't make it out. He hit me, tied me up"

Hermione's face went paler still.

 "Hermione you look terrible, are you alright?" He made to grab her hand but she withdrew it to her side. Sirius looked worried. "Hermione what happened? Did you see him?"

 "I.. I think" she couldn't quite get out the words "Did he take anything from you Sirius?" she asked dreading the answer

"What do you mean, like my wand or.."

"No, I mean like hair or something"

"Yes, he grabbed my head and pulled a bloody great chunk out of it" Hermione sighed with relief. So it wasn't Sirius who had attacked her. It was Pettigrew, he had used Polyjuice Potion. Hermione burst into tears and buried her head in Sirius' robes.
